Deep, layered, soulful and musical tracks from French legend Laurent Garnier. "Psyche-Delia" was inspired by his deep love for Ethiopian jazz. And indeed, it sounds like a modern take on something like Mulatu Astatke. With an Afrobeat bass line, flutes and live Rhodes, it feels almost like a live jam session and is way beyond what we would usually associate with the term "house music." The flipside sees Garnier go into even deeper territory with the low-key, bass-heavy and trippy track "Whistle for Frankie," a modern take on classic Garnier values.

Marcellus Pittman, Mike Huckaby and Recloose get a go at some by-now classic MCDE material. Appropriately titled "Raw Cuts," the two tracks would start a series of raw house jams Danilo made in his studio using old school samplers and drum machines, a sound that at the time was far away from being status quo. Having been heavily influenced by soul, jazz, house and techno emerging from both the Motor City and beyond, Danilo found his signature sound: sample-based, raw, emotional and mature tracks.

MCDE proudly presents the debut works of Canadian Michael Gracioppo. Featuring a remix from Fred P (Mule/Underground Quality). Very limited edition. The label's first 10" is headed by "My So-Called Friends," the Montrealer's deeply personal ode to an over-indulgent past lover.

Awesome gospel-inspired four-track house 12" from Motor City Drum Ensemble. MCDE directly confronts the legacy of his insanely loved Raw Cuts that brought the bounce back to deep house, injecting a blueprint grown stale with much-needed emotions and rejuvenating DJ crates worldwide. Four impressive workouts condensing all we love about the genre, resulting in a show-stopping record sure to set even the most distinguished floors on fire.

The Motor City Drum Ensemble label brings you straight-up dancefloor material on this release. Jayson Brothers' "Drop Back" has been a hidden gem in Danilo's sets for quite some time already, and it is released alongside the storming "North & Pulaski." On the B-side, Creative Swing Alliance are back with their trademark house grooves. Last but not least, Pablo Valentino also delivers a solo joint, another staple in Motor City Drum Ensemble's record-bag.

Latecomer's debut single on MCDE is featured on Motor City Drum Ensemble's excellent DJ-Kicks compilation. Banging soundscapes linked with modern rhythms. Philpot Records boss SoulPhiction adds a dash of acid and classic house sounds with his remix.
